TODAY'S FOCUS: Several readers have written about Tremont Tower, a Montrose-area midrise property on Yupon, that has graffiti on its walls and high weeds growing on one side of the property. Heather Mickelson wrote, "Tremont still has failed to clean up the graffiti — it looks awful. There are also weeds growing tall and are out of control ... It's visible from Westheimer, near Montrose, and is a disgrace ... "

STATUS: The city's Neighborhood Protection Division spokeswoman, Jodi Silva, said Monday that they investigated the graffiti Aug. 12. The property owners were sent a notice in early September and given until Oct. 12 to clean it up.The graffiti was still there, so they referred the problem to the Mayor's Anti-Gang Office.
